Anti Wage-Slavery Pro-Freedom Quotations Of The Week 1168-1170

Humans who feel the urge to take it easy but remained
burdened by a recalcitrant work ethic might do well to consider that
laziness is perfectly natural, perfectly sensible and shared by nearly
every other species on the planet.

Natalie Angier

In the world to come, each of us will be called to account for all the good things God put on earth which we refused to enjoy.

The Talmud

A just society, Terman proposed, would assign professions by
IQ so that high- scorers received leadership roles while those with lower
scores were assigned to various types of manual labor: "substantial
success" required an IQ of at least 115, while the maximum I.Q. required
for a barber was set at 85 and IQ 75 was deemed an unsafe risk in a motorman or
conductor. Presuming that those who had failed to survive society must be the
most unfit of all, Terman even launched a study of the IQs of "hobos and
the unemployed." To his utter disbelief, average hobo IQs ranked above
those of motormen, firemen and policemen.

Come by to Jack Saturday once a week for some bracing anti-wage-slavery quotations, it'll be nice to have you over to the place. I'll be including some of the wake of my personal journey through freedom from the job in this third emancipatory phase of history, the phase of liberation of wage-slaves through a Guaranteed Livable Income.
